Wards/Stakes/Member CHURCH IT NEEDS!
Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 11:17 pm
A question to the forum,
How do we create awareness or let our voices be heard that we NEED development efforts thrown our way?
Thousands and Thousands of person hours are spent each week coordinating and trying to track issuing callings to members. Registration and private data are being filled in all over the place... we are creating websites to meet members needs, mostly to the detriment of policies against them, but what can we do?
Is there anything we can do? Can we ask members to pay 11% and fund a special programmer tactical ops team? Can we ask regular people like clerks to serve in advisory positions to teams that 'provide' our services? We need to increase the number of people working on these solutions!
Otherwise Stakes/Wards will continue to look beyond the language forbidding websites and other technology because we just are not meeting the needs of our people?
any takers... what can be done?

- We need a blog-like tool with richness
- We need to have a consumption model (RSS feeds or notifications of changes)
- We need REGISTRATION/sign up tools tied to LDS Account to track girls camp/youth conference and other sign-up stuff... make sure we can order shirt sizes, etc...
- We need to have a workflow for wards and stakes to issue and track callings online
- Auxiliary Leaders MUST have access online to reports/info
- Clerks must be able to do more online
